  1. This NYT article about whether private universities can maintain autonomy in the face of an authoritarian government was interesting. https://archive.is/UY1i6 9k for a year's tuition and the kid gets to live in Vienna? Almost makes me want to adopt a high school student with good grades.

  3. L.A. Times 1st Album Review The Doors, a quartet who have been playing in the Los Angeles area for some time have come up with their first album, which is named after them. This Elektra album has a strange, new sound, but it is not strange in the fascinating directions pursued by the Rolling Stones, Dylan, Donovan or the Beatles. Jim Morrison, lead vocalist, has a voice similar to that of Eric Burdon, the Animals’ singer, but he is somewhat overmannered, murky, and dull. The best example of his faults is “The End,” an 11 minute 35 second exploration of how bored he can sound as he recites singularly simple, over-elaborated psychedelic non sequiturs and fallacies. Many of the numbers drag and there is an abundance of banal lyrics, but the Doors do sound fairly good on “Break on Through,” their current single, “Twentieth Century Fox” and “Alabama Song,” which has a good rhythm backing and passable harmony. I forget the critic's name (It was before Robert Hilburn) but he would come to regret this review and he later renounced it and even wrote a rebuttal to his original review.
  4. I guess I didn't realize the cameras Tesla uses are what was state of the art in cell phones 10 years ago. The robotaxi roll out in Austin should be amazing.
  5. Thanks for the response. I'm aware it's common to display loot but it's not everyday I see an "88" posted alongside a nazi flag on this site. On a roadtrip through the deep South, sure.
  6. The display of nazi paraphernalia and the numerals in your username cause me to ask you what's up with that, @mininghorn88?

  11. Getting called a "girl" by AOC would be the most erotic and special thing that's ever happened to them. This seems good? Is it good?
